Nissan reports nearly $5 billion loss after shutting factories

If Nissan brought back the RB30 engine I believe the company could be easily saved.

We need more straight six engine cars, especially sedans

A new Juke would do a better job saving Nissan tbh

I feel like bringing back the RB30 probably wouldn't solve anything for Nissan at this scale. Most people don't care about engine layouts anymore, they're focused on hybrids and SUVs now.

thats bait

It's one of their best engines, excluding the V8

The same RB30 that was last used more than 3 decades ago. Is this a troll post?

[-]

kstetter@reddit (OP)

No, while it's not the best straight six I do believe all companies should go back to I6s instead of V6s for six cylinder cars

Because people buy Nissans for their engines. Right? /s

Delusional Fanboy Take of the week material right here

I'm not a fan of the RB30, it was one of the worst straight six engines on the market.
Ford's straight six was better even then

StanknBeans@reddit

I stand corrected. Just straight Delusional Take of the week material.

The Ford Maverick would have been much better with a Ford straight six than the RB30 it came with

[-]

mada447@reddit

No it wouldn’t. Because then it would have to be priced $10k higher at the minimum, and it wouldn’t sell.

Obviously the maverick would've sold better with a predator engine, duh

[-]

mada447@reddit

What? Is a hybrid.

Sarcasm.

I was talking about the old Ford Maverick with the RB30 in Australia.

Obviously enthusiasts are not the main priority for a brand.

But to think that there is not a singular Nissan product any of my family would even consider, it doesn't look good.

Even the Nissan Z is very very flawed for the price from factory, it is a cool car, but you have to put more money into it just to make it a competent sports car.
